Srila Prabhupada: "everywhere they have cows and they kill them off and eat them, and that's why civilization is as it is now, in crisis. Now society is paying reactions, and they are going to pay more reactions because of that." >>> Ref. VedaBase => SPL 7-10: A World Tour
We can definitely see that to advance in Krsna consciousness one must control his bodily weight. If one becomes too fat, it is to be assumed that he is not advancing spiritually. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura severely criticized his fat disciples...
They are preaching Bhagavad-gita with the purpose of killing Krsna. Everyone. The politicians, the scholars, the rascals, and everyone. The main purpose is how to kill Krsna. In Bombay I have got a very big friend, you know him. I do not wish to disclose his name...
The highest goal of life can be achieved as long as one’s body is stout and strong. We should therefore live in such a way that we keep ourselves always healthy and strong in mind and intelligence so that we can distinguish the goal of life from a life full of problems. (SB 7.6.5 purport)
